and it publishes a lot of little books and papers telling people how to
take care of animals. You should ask your mamma to let you go to the
Society's rooms at No. 10 East 22d Street, and get Mr. Haines to give some
of these books to you.

When you grow up you should join the Society, and then you would be able
to do a great deal for animals. They will love you for your kind little
heart as much as we do.

You might do something to help your favorites now, by getting all the boys
and girls you know to join you in forming Bands of Mercy. These are clubs
of young people who pledge themselves to be kind and helpful to all
animals.

Write to Mr. J.L. Stevens, the Secretary of the American Humane Education
Society, Milk Street, Boston.

Tell him THE GREAT ROUND WORLD gave you his address, and he will send you
information about forming your club, and about the badges and rules.

You can do a great deal for suffering animals by interesting other boys
and girls in the work, and teaching them that we ought to be even kinder
to animals than we are to one another, because animals are dumb, and
cannot tell us when they suffer.
